Samoa lock undegoes operation on fractured arm

Castres will be without lock Joe Tekori for up to two months after his suffered a fractured arm in Saturday's defeat to Clermont. The Samoa international, who made three appearances at the World Cup, has undergone an operation to repair the damage sustained in the 54th minute of the 33-16 loss. The injury to the 27-year-old is the latest blow to the club who have failed to win their last six games and have slipped to third in the Top 14 table. Castres now face back-to-back games against Northampton in the Heineken Cup.
